MoMo Falana :: 2004 :: MoMo SoHo's designs combine couture sensibility and craftsmanship making each creation as beautiful and unique as the person who wears it. Clients know that when the design team creates special garments for them, they are bound to get attention. Sarah Jessica Parker did, when she wore a MoMo gold brocade coat on the Season 4 "Finale" episode of Sex in the City.  Joss Stone did, at the Grammy's when she sang a Janis Joplin duet with Melissa Etheridge.  And Britney Spears did, at the Billboard Music Awards show in her long, electric-orange sheer coat, topped by a feathered fedora.  The line's client list keeps growing, and includes numerous stage and film costume designers and stylists and other notable individuals such as models Jessica Miller, Angie Lindvall, Claudia Schiffer, Paris Hilton, and Stephanie Seymour, actresses Uma Thurman and Frances McDormand and musicians Alicia Keys, Liz Phair, Steven Van Zandt and Lil' Kim.  www.momofalana.com

For the past several years, Pam has created knitwear designs in collaboration with other designers, helping to add unique knit pieces for their collections.  The most recent was Terri Stevens, a participant on Project Runway, Season 5.  As she gained positive recognition for her designs, she decided to pursue creating and manufacturing her own lines of men's and women's knitwear.

The excitement with which my garments were received has led me to interview for Fashion Week Cleveland 2011.  I hope to add an extra dimension to the show that knits seem to generate.  Pamela's jackets were worn by Heidi Klum at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York.  Musicians Bonnie Riatt and Stevie Nicks have also purchased her knitwear.

For Spring 2011, she has added dresses to my women's collection.  They have knit bodices with fabric skirts.  Paired with heels or even sandals, they make a summer evening on the town; a fashion event.  She is now working on incorporating organic cotton fabric into future collections.  Her knitwear brings a new twist to traditional silhouettes.  www.pamelaadesigns.com
